Pisanie jako działanie. Kroniki Margaret Atwood, Ursuli Le Guin i Ingi Iwasiów
Writing as an action. The Chronicles of Margaret Atwood, Ursula Le Guin, and Inga Iwasiów

Summary/Abstract: In the article, the author discusses chronicle accounts in which Ursula Le Guin, Margaret Atwood, and Inga Iwasiów recall their own experience to translate them into a heterogeneous account of social life. The author analyzes scattered articles, lectures, reviews, meeting reports, columns, and essays in which intellectuals express their opposition to excluding women from public space. The selected writers share the position of an intellectual and a feminist. Their activities in the public sphere are part of the academic, intellectual activism called for by sociologist Patri- cia Hill Collins, examining possible paths of transferring knowledge developed at universities to environments where this knowledge has practical significance. The author of the article shows how the combination of these considerations creates a project for change and intervention for the excluded, weak, and wronged. In this respect, the chronicler’s notes do not resemble journal- ism involved in the revolution, but have a form typical of the novels they write: the authors ask non-obvious questions and do not suggest ready-made solutions.
